Background:
Xu Shu (styled Yuanzhi) was from Yingchuan, a district noted for its talented scholars. His father died when he was young, leaving him and his younger brother Xu Kang to be raised by their mother. He was an expert swordsman, and killed a man to avenge an injustice near the end of Emperor Ling’s reign (AD 168-189). When he was arrested, he refused to identify himself, so the authorities paraded him around the market on a cart hoping that someone would know him. No one betrayed his name, even though some people recognized him. Instead, some of his friends set him free. He went into hiding and assumed the name Shan Fu.
After his escape, he devoted himself to the life of a scholar, and studied under many masters. Before long, he travelled to Jingzhou, where he came under the tutelage of Sima Hui. He also befriended Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, Pang Degong, Pang Tong, Shi Guangyuan, and Zhuge Liang, with whom he studied spiritual refinement. Eventually, he sought employment with the Protector of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, who was also a scholar and had a reputation for favouring learned men. After serving him as an adviser for a brief time, Xu Shu became aware of the Protector’s inadequacies, and left a letter explaining his departure.

Personality:
Xu Shu is generally speaking a well thought of and respectable officer of the current era. He speaks well, respectfully and will rarely put a foot wrong in what he says. He is calm, collected, thoughtful, cunning and sometimes devious, much like any scholar. When in battle he treats his enemy with the respect they deserve, whilst saying that, if he finds a way of anniahlating the opponent, he will put his respect aside to accomplish his goal.
It is an unwise move to try and mess around with Xu Shu, whilst he seems kind and honourable for the most part, he can also be your worst nightmare. When someone angers him he will find means of making that persons life a complete hell, and unlike many of his fellow strategists and politicians, he is not afraid of getting blood on his sword.
Xu Shu is fearless, respectful, silently arrogant, contemplative, cunning, thoughtful, quick, clever, reliable.
